Inspired by O’Keeffe’s unique style of representing close-up views of flowers and fruit, children will investigate botanical specimens and create art. Play in our Hawaiian sand table featuring real shell and rock specimens to uncover. Pot up a tropical ginger cutting to take home and observe its growth!

Kids ages 8 and up with an adult partner can drop into the Discovery Center on weekends this summer to learn how to make their own special portable microscope to take home. This project takes about 30-40 minutes to complete. Offered through a generous donation by the Simons Foundation.
